Would you believe there’s a Peanut Butter Fudge Day? This very specific holiday falls on November 20th, and if you start now you could probably perfect a batch just in time to send in to teachers or bring in to work so everyone can celebrate!

This recipe comes from allrecipes.com and combines both chocolate and peanut butter for a perfect bite of fudge that you’ll want to make a whole lot more often than just once a year. It’s also very easy to assemble — you’ve probably already got everything in your pantry!

This is such a cute video! Jeanne Hill’s son videotaped her back in 1991 as she prepared a batch of chocolate fudge.
In the Youtube information for the video, her son says:
“Her chocolate fudge recipe was a family favorite so we made this video of her preparing it in her kitchen. In addition, Jeanne was an avid photographer and owned some of the early VHS video equipment including one of the first portable “camcorders.” She thoroughly enjoyed making this video and we’re happy to share it with anyone interested. Even 12 years after her passing, we all miss her greatly! Although …read more

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had been searching for my grandpa’s homemade chocolate fudge recipe, and word got to one of my aunts, who said she had a copy of it.

The fudge was delicious but I’m still not convinced that it was the same one Grandpa made. For one, I don’t remember him adding in the frozen marshmallows at the end to make it a rocky road fudge, and secondly there’s something missing form the taste, not to mention they’re a little gooier than Grandpa’s were. I wish I could sit and watch him make it again …read more

One of my fondest memories growing up was helping my grandpa make fudge. He always did it around Christmas to pass out to neighbors (and always enough for us to take some home too), but sometimes he’d surprise us by picking up the supplies for it at the store while we were staying over with him on random weekends throughout the year.

Grandpa’s been gone for many years now and though he had the recipe written down it seems to have been lost. I’ve been sent copies of what was supposedly the original, but when I’ve gone to make it they …read more

Today is National Nutty Fudge Day! It’s been a while since I made fudge, and I’ve got everything in the pantry to make a batch. What I’d really like, though, is a batch of my grandpa’s fudge but, very sadly, the recipe has been lost and anything similar I’ve been able to find just hasn’t been the same.

The recipe below is a pretty basic, easy fudge recipe. Make sure you pay constant attention to the chocolate in the pan and don’t crank the heat up too high. I prefer walnuts in my fudge but pecans and chopped almonds would work …read more

Yesterday was National Chocolate Fudge Day, and oddly enough I came in a day late last month with Nutty Fudge Day too!

This is what I call a double bonus: a piece of fudge with a diamond inside!
A woman whose diamond ring vanished while she was making fudge for a bake sale was despondent after scouring her home and finding no sign of it.
The fudge containing the diamond ring was purchased at a bake sale.
But Linda Vancel recently got a sweet surprise: A relative of the woman who bought the fudge found the ring when he bit into a piece of the candy.
Of course there’s a happy ending with the ring being returned to the rightful owner. I can’t imagine how she …read more
